Kan-ed Reflection

Kan Ed Website

The Kan Ed website is very, very helpful for teacher and student resources.

One of the best resources on the website is Thinkfinity. It was my personal favorite. You can find lesson plans, and they are really in depth. There are a ton of free resources. You can look up a lesson plan in about any subject area, and it goes into immense details. There are many lesson plans to choose from. Once you choose one, you use can read through it. If you don't want to use that exact lesson plan, you can use any of the links in the lesson plan, because they are all provided. This is a very cool website.

KERC is also a resources found on the Kan Ed website. KERC stands for Kansas Education Resource Center. KERC is very helpful in making sure you, as a teacher, are meeting your classroom standards. It is very simple to use. You go into your content area standards (for me, that would be Reading and Writing) and click on the grade level. It takes your right to the standards, and it is helpful so you can align what you are teaching to make sure you are meeting the standards.

The last resource I will talk about that is found on Kan Ed is netTrekker. I love this website! It is very helpful, because it gives you lesson ideas, refers you to websites, and makes sure that everything on their site aligns with standards. For instance, I can click find Language Arts and choose an area of LA I'm going to teach. I can select reading, journalism, speech, etc. Then I can click on what I want to teach within that category, and it lists websites as resources.
